2 months agoFood needs seasoning and love. Oxtails Bland. Cabbage had no hint of spice. Rice was blah. Everything taste the same. Made my stomach hurt after 30 mins and i didn’t even eat a lot.

3 months agot had been coming to this restaurant for years. Not sure if there’s a new cook but the food taste has gone downhill. I ordered whiting dinner with yams and string beans. The yams were seasoned on the outside in a sweet marinade but hard as a brick when you bite them. The 3 pieces of fish tasted like it was saturated vinegar after it was fried. I called the restaurant and they told me they are not replacing the fish just because I don’t like it but will give me more yams. No thanks!!!!

3 months agoThe jerk chicken was not good could have been a little more tender and more flavor. Mac and cheese was the worst I ever taste it tasted like a Mexican taco. The cabbage was ok. What is going on with the cornbread? the cornbread have some weird taste and texture just not good at all. The food was not covered either it’s already made, sitting out near front but not covered. Came here before and it didn’t taste like this it was a waste of money. I been having my mouth watered on jerk chicken just to be a big disappointment!!

11 months agoAlmost inedible. I only gave 2 stars because the cabbage wasn’t bad and the oxtails were tender, but everything else was awful. The oxtails were incredibly sweet. The cornbread had a weird taste to it that I couldn’t pinpoint or finish. The mac and cheese had a gritty taste, but had the same sweetness as the oxtails. I wasn’t able to finish my food unfortunately.

a year agoI have been to this restaurant multiple times but this is the first time I’ve gotten the Mango-Pinapple Jerk Shrimp. It was good. Cabbage was well cooked and seasoned, yams were good but more like sweet potato casserole “style”. The jerk shrimp was good as well. My complaint, they switched their containers from the last time I visited. Used to be the styrofoam white containers and now they have the smaller black plastic ones. These containers are a bit smaller, not deep at all and the jerk shrimp only comes in one size, which is their large dinner portion. For $25 (after tax), 8 shrimp that doesn’t automatically come with rice so it’s just sitting in sauce and half ladle filled sized sides, is just not cutting it. It “looks” filling but it is not because the containers are thin. I probably will eat here again but probably only to get a lunch special. I get they need to make their money but serving dishes for the same price or more, for less food is not it.

a year agoI have overlooked this restaurant’s lackluster customer service in the past because the food was usually pretty good, but things have recently taken a turn for the worse. On November 30th, I called to place an order for pickup as I was leaving my parking spot on Naval Station Norfolk. After a few rings, a woman answered, and I requested to place a pick-up order. She asked me to hold, which I agreed to, understanding that it’s a busy time between 12-1 p.m. However, I stayed on hold for 22 minutes while I drove to the restaurant, hearing their door chime repeatedly as new customers entered and were helped. When I arrived, I hung up the call and stood in front of the plexiglass for another 3-4 minutes before the woman finally acknowledged me with, “Hang on, I’ll be right with you.” I replied, “You can hang up the phone—I’m here now.” She responded with a laughing, “Oops, my bad, sorry.” After additional waiting, she finally asked for my order. I visit on Wednesdays specifically for their cowfoot soup, which is usually very good when made right. (The previous Wednesday I drove there only to be told they did not have the soup of the day) I ordered two mediums, which should have been a simple order to prepare. After about 12 more minutes, I was handed my order and charged $28. Their menu, accessible via a QR code in the shop, lists the soup at $9.75, so I expected my total to be around $23. I’m not sure if I was overcharged or if the menu is outdated. When I got home, I was seriously disappointed. Instead of soup, I received a mushy mix of potatoes, cornmeal lumps, and what looked like a porridge made of squash and cornmeal and very few small pieces of meat. To make things worse, I found several eyelashes in the dish. This experience has likely been my last with this restaurant. I do not recommend it—you’re better off driving to MPs.

2 years agoI had the vegan oxtail with yams and red beans with rice. I also had a vegan chicken sandwich w cheese and fries. Everything was well seasoned and just tasty. The texture went well with the imitation. They let me try the tomato bisque which was equally flavorful. Thank you for an excellent experience. Food-excellent. Service-well it was good, server was multi tasking, the place is small. Atmosphere- its nice its is not elegant or trashy, it's clean, colorful and upbeat.
